New Arsenal signing expected to make debut injury

Arsenal are set to complete the signing of 17-year old Polish midfielder Krystian Bielik and give him a debut injury shortly after the paperwork is complete.

The highly-rated teenager is thought to be close to completing a £2.5m move from Legia Warsaw to the Gunners on completion of a medical. Once those formalities are out of the way, the backroom team are eager to get him on the treatment table right away.

"The philosophy at Arsenal is clear", a statement from the club read. "It's a one-club culture where every level is expected to be geared to reflect the style of the first team. As a result, we expect our medical staff to break Bielik quite early and get him on good terms with the physios as early as possible as we look to bring him on to emulate the likes of Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott et al."

Once that process is clear, loan spells at various League 1 and Championship clubs will follow with the occasional League Cup appearance thrown in before a move to Greece.
